The EU and global climate justice: normative power caught in normative battles’ gives readers a comprehensive insight into the convergence between environmental issues and international accountability

Cinq experts européens (fictifs), sont consultés chaque jour pendant une semaine par le président Xi Jinping dans le cadre de sa réflexion pour l'avenir du pays. David Baverez nous entraîne dans un dialogue en toute franchise et invite à repenser structurellement les fondations de la relation entre Europe et Chine pour construire, au XXIe siècle, le "Grand Pont en avant".

The new acquisitions highlighted this month address the climate change, world demographics, Asian geopolitics, among other subjects.

Progress of the European Green Deal, EU member states’ industrial recoveries, digitisation, systematic healthcare restructuring, and EU-Western Balkans cooperation ventures are among the many subjects investigated in the Think Tank Review.

Comparisons between EU member states’ post-pandemic recoveries, the Slovenian Council presidency’s objectives, reconfiguring financial procedures, progress of the EU Green Deal in ensuring climate security, and developments of interest in the Western Balkans, the Middle East, South Asia, and China are among the subjects covered in this edition of the Think Tank Review.

The COVID-19 pandemic, European Union's international relations and the fight against terrorism are among the subjects covered by the new acquisitions of this month.

In light of the upcoming EU-Western Balkans summit on 6 October, the Council Library has compiled a Library Guide of resources relating to the topic.
